Answer:

$1032.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

salary = $950 every two weeks

tax rate = 8%

let the initial pay be x

and let the pay after tax deduction be p

p= x-8/100x

Hence the equation for his pay is

p=x-0.08x-------------1

subsitute

950=x-0.08x

950= 0.92x

divide both sides by 0.92

x= 950/0.92

x=$1032.60

The employee make $1032.60 every two weeks before taxes

How many unique triangles can be drawn with side lengths 8 in., 12 in., and 24 in.? Explain
Debora [2.8K]

By using the triangular inequality, we will see that no triangles can be made with these side lengths.

<h3>How many triangles can be made with these side lengths?</h3>

Remember that for any triangle with side lengths A, B, and C, the triangular inequality must be true.

This means that the sum of any two sides must be larger than the other side.

A + B > C

A + C > B

B + C > A.

For the given side lengths, we will have:

8 in + 12 in > 24 in

8in + 24 in > 12 in

12 in + 24 in > 8 in.

Now, notice that the first inequality is false. So the triangular inequality is not meet. Then we can't make a triangle with these side lengths.

So we can make 0 unique triangles with these side lengths.

Choose the equation you would use to find the altitude of the airplane. tan70 = 0 tan70 = sin70 =
KonstantinChe [14]
The situation is represented by a drawing with a right triangle where an airplane is at the top corner, the elevation angle (opposite to the airplane) is 70°, the height (vertical leg) is x, and the adjacent leg (horizontal leg) to the 70° angle is 800.

Then, to find the height x, which is the opposite leg to the angle,  you can use the tangent ratio, which is opposite leg divided by adjacent leg:

tan(x) = opposite leg / adjacent leg => tan(70°) = x / 800

Answer: tan(70°) = x / 800
